David R. Flatla, Carl Gutwin · 2012 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing
This paper introduces Situation-Specific Modeling (SSM), a fundamentally different approach to helping users with color vision deficiency (CVD) differentiate colors in digital interfaces. Traditional recoloring tools rely on theoretical models of dichromatism—complete absence of…
